After multiple consumer complaints, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has issued a public health alert for some Wegmans chicken nugget products warning they may contain “extraneous material.” The frozen chicken nuggets were sold in Pennsylvania and seven other states, as well as the District of Columbia, according to a Jan. 27 notice.

The nuggets included in the alert were sold in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.

FSIS was notified of the issue after Wegmans received multiple consumer complaints of bone fragments in the frozen fully cooked breaded chicken breast nugget product. There have been no confirmed reports of injury due to consumption of these products, and anyone concerned about an injury should contact a health-care provider.

A recall was issued for 46 ounce plastic packages containing “Wegmans Family Pack Fully Cooked Breaded Chicken Breast with Rib Meat."

The Food Safety and Inspection Service said that it is concerned that consumers may still have some of the nugget packages in their freezers. Consumers who still have packages are urged not to eat the product, and to throw it away or return it to the store where it was purchased.
